Why are we still paying for Pompeo & Barr's private jets & other perks?

They are running around the world undermining our government, hoping to find a country that will help them blame the Ukraine for the interference in our elections, while declaring Russia innocent of any wrong doing so that trump can then remove the sanctions against Russia and make good on his promise to putin. Or something similar.

So instead of grounding these guys, instead of bringing to bear whatever consequence is available to us, we let them use our jets paid for with taxpayer money. We pay for their hotels, for their food and for their limos, while they ignore the Rule of Law and tromp on our Constitution. We are paying them to do their best to hurt the US and help Russia.

No wonder nothing seems to stop them, why should they stop? Why should they pay attention to and be bound by the Rule of Law? We are paying them NOT to.

John Durham going to Rome to listen to a secret tape made by Professor Joseph Mifsud who got the ball rolling on giving alleged "dirt" on Hillary? I know they're trying to learn the origins or fabricate evidence to the origin of the investigations into Russian interference in the elections. Mifsud is a shady character and was observed by Italian intelligence.

At least some of the media are starting to ask questions about why US tax payers are footing the bill for all this "investigation" and obfuscation BS.

No doubt the lies will get much worse now for anyone who dares to investigate the tyrant & his familia.

on the FBI, CIA and other intelligence agencies. Barr and Pompeo have told Trump that the FBI and others worked against Hillary in order to get him elected and then blamed Putin for their meddling.
